    So, I just saw a B/R piece giving their ranking of the Top 25 NBA players under 25 years of age. It’s from a few days ago, but I didn’t see it until today. Notably absent, from a Blazers fan’s perspective, is Anfernee Simons. Was Ant done wrong by the B/R asshats, and if so, what guy or guys should he be ranked ahead of?

    Ant should be in there for sure, but even then this list is a garbage fire

    Ant’s better than about half those guys.

    Wait? RJ Barrett? How? Over Ant? I don’t think any GM would take Barrett over Ant. Or am I being bias?

    I don't have much problem with 23 of the 25 players named. But Franz Wagner?....c'mon BR. Barret is a pretty iffy too

    not sure if deleting those two guys means Ant is on the list. Josh Giddey might be more deserving than Ant. And Keldon Johnson should be on that list beore Ant; maybe Devin Vassell as well. Mathurin has looked pretty good as a rookie. Michael Porter Jr?

    Super surprising Top 5.

    Simons should be on there.
    Sorry RJ Barrett you didn’t make the cut, better luck later on.

    Put Simons at 16, ahead of Scottie Barnes and after Desmond Bane.

    When you have to be THE guy, do you become the guy? Anfernee is beginning to show the NBA.......yes, I am that guy.
